The Innovators

Hello Innovators. It’s a very funny time at the moment isn’t it? This sunshine makes me want to go to the sea side, but it isn’t safe for us to do that at the moment. Instead, I’ve written ‘go to the seaside’ on some paper, and popped it in my wish jar. Maybe you could make a wish jar too! All you need is a little container (it doesn’t have to be a jar. You could even make a list) and something to write on. Every time you think of something you’d like to do, but can’t at the moment, pop it in your wish jar to do when things feel a little more normal again. You could have your own wish jar, or everyone in your family could put into one big jar to give you lots of fun things to do when the time is right. Let us know in the comments what your putting in your wish jar.

Here’s an example of what you might want to use to make your wish jar.

Here’s a fun video your Pyebank staff have made for you all. We hope you enjoy it!

We love reading in foundation and Mr.Riley has been very busy reading lots of stories for you to hear. Maybe you could email and let us know which is your favourite story. Maybe you could read or listen to a story with someone in your house.

Follow the link to find them. Happy reading innovators!

I hope you are all well and safe! For part of Pyebank’s well being and healthy minds programme, I would like you to write a friendly message in the comments section to a friend in your class.  You could tell them how much they are missed, share what you have been up to or even ask a question about how they are. Remember to check back for responses! Stay home & stay safe.

Here’s an experiment for all you innovators to try!
Fill a small tub with water. Gather a few materials from around your house like a paper clip, a penny, a wooden block, or even bath toys. Which objects do you think will sink? Which will float? Will the bigger objects sink, while the smaller objects float?
Place the objects in the water and find out!!
Were you right?
Let us know your results by emailing a photo of your objects floating and sinking to the foundation email address. Have Fun!

Good morning Innovators! Your foundation staff have a special message for you!

Good Morning my lovely Innovators! I hope you are all having an amazing time in the sunshine and you are having fun doing our daily Literacy, Maths and Phonics activities.

 I thought it would be nice to do a relaxing challenge this week, and so I have attached the Cosmic Yoga YouTube Channel for you to have a look at. Choose a video and get practising some yoga today!

Good Afternoon Innovators! I love how many of you are using the Virtual School Blog and doing our daily Literacy, Maths and Phonics sessions! Keep this up and your brain will grow bigger and bigger!

Today’s challenge is a maths one, can you finish these repeating patterns? We’ve done a lot of patterns in our lessons so I know you will be amazing at this! Once you have completed these, send them to the foundation chat or my email address!

A few days ago, Miss Marsden and her son let the butterflies go off into the world! Do you remember what animal they were before? What did they hatch from? How exciting!

Good Morning Innovators! I hope you are all well and happy. Today’s challenge is a literacy/phonics one (my FAVOURITE!). Here are some pictures of Easter eggs. Can you write some sentences describing what they look like? 

You could talk about: it’s colour, it’s shape, it’s pattern or how yummy it might taste! 

Remember to use your phonics knowledge to sound out the words you are writing, and use a crocodile grip to hold your pen or pencil! 

Send me your lovely work once completed. See you all soon!
